< Micah 2 >
1 Woe to them that devise iniquity and work evil upon their beds! When the morning is light they practise it, because it is in the power of their hand.
Nunae, boethae la aka moeh rhoek neh a thingkong dongah boethae aka saii rhoek aih, a kut dongah pathen hnap a om hatah mincang khosae ah te te a saii.
2 And they covet fields, and take them by violence; and houses, and take them away; and they oppress a man and his house, even a man and his heritage.
Khohmuen a nai uh tih a rhawth uh, im khaw a puen pa uh, hlang te a imkhui neh tongpa khaw, a rho khaw a hnaemtaek uh.
3 Therefore thus saith Jehovah: Behold, against this family do I devise an evil, from which ye shall not remove your necks; neither shall ye walk haughtily: for it is an evil time.
Te dongah BOEIPA loh, “Kamah loh he rhoek koca taengah yoethaenah ka hmoel pah coeng he. Te te na rhawn lamloh na hlong thai pawt vetih yoethaenah tue ah a cakdawk la cet boeh,” a ti.
4 In that day shall they take up a proverb concerning you, and lament with a doleful lamentation, [and] say, We are utterly spoiled: he hath changed the portion of my people: how hath he removed it from me! He hath distributed our fields to the rebellious.
Te khohnin ah tah nangmih taengah thuidoeknah hang khuen ni. Rhathinah neh rhathi tih a om vaengah, “Mah, pilnam kah khoyo he a rhoelrhak la n'rhoelrha uh tih a thovael coeng. Kai lamloh a khum phoeiah mah khohmuen te hnukmael taengla a tael pah,” a ti ni.
5 Therefore thou shalt have none that shall cast the measuring line upon a lot, in the congregation of Jehovah.
Te dongah BOEIPA kah hlangping lakli ah nang taengah hmulung neh rhi aka naan om mahpawh.
6 Prophesy ye not, they prophesy. If they do not prophesy to these, the ignominy will not depart.
A saep uh akhaw n'saep uh boel saeh, he ham he saep uh boel saeh, mingthae te balkhong boel saeh.
7 O thou [that art] named the house of Jacob, Is Jehovah impatient? are these his doings? Do not my words do good to him that walketh uprightly?
Jakob imkhui te cal a? BOEIPA kah Mueihla te a ngun pah a? He nim anih kah a khoboe? Aka thuem la pongpa ham a lohna uh khaw kai ol nen moenih a?
8 But of late my people is risen up as an enemy: ye strip off the mantle with the garment from them that pass by securely, that are averse from war.
Tedae hlaem kah ka pilnam he a khaepdan ah thunkha bangla thoo. Caemtloek kah aka mael loh ngaikhuek la aka pah taengkah tangpueng himbai te na pit pauh.
9 The women of my people do ye cast out from their pleasant houses; from their young children do ye take away my magnificence for ever.
Ka pilnam yuu rhoek te a omthenbawnnah im lamloh na haek uh. Kumhal ham ka rhuepomnah te a camoe rhoek taeng lamloh na loh pauh.
10 Arise ye, and depart; for this is not the resting-place, because of defilement that bringeth destruction, even a grievous destruction.
Thoo uh lamtah cet uh, he he duemnah moenih. Laikoi loh a poeih tih bungtloh loh a thuek coeng.
11 If a man walking in wind and falsehood do lie, [saying, ] I will prophesy unto thee of wine and of strong drink, he shall be the prophet of this people.
Hlang he yilh la cu tih a honghi la laithae mako. Nangmih ham te misur kawng neh yu kawng kan saep bitni. Te vaengah he he pilnam aka saep la om bitni.
12 I will surely assemble, O Jacob, the whole of thee; I will surely gather the remnant of Israel; I will put them together as sheep of Bozrah, as a flock in the midst of their pasture: they shall make great noise by reason of [the multitude of] men.
Jakob nang te boeih kan coi rhoe kan coi ni. Israel kah a meet rhoek ka coi rhoe ka coi ni. Anih te saelim kah boiva bangla rhenten ka khuen ni. A rhamtlim laklo ah tuping bangla hlang neh pangngawl uh ni.
13 One that breaketh through is gone up before them: they have broken forth, and have passed on to the gate, and are gone out by it; and their king passeth on before them, and Jehovah at the head of them.
Aka va rhoek te amih mikhmuh ah cet uh vaengah vongka a va uh vetih pah uh ni. Te longah a thoeng uh vaengah a manghai amih mikhmuh ah, BOEIPA te amih lu ah cet ni.
